I think there are too many student apartment choices in Melbourne now, which makes me dizzy. But after staying up late to research, I have compiled a new version of the strategy, hoping to help everyone! 📝
Franklin
Commuting: 800 meters from the University of Melbourne, 120 meters from RMIT
Recommendation: Standard single room
The cost-effectiveness of this type of room is very high. Other single rooms just have an extra window, but the price is 60 AUD/week higher. The layout and facilities of the room are not much different, so I think if you consider the budget, there is no need to spend an extra 60 AUD/week. Of course, if you don't care about the budget, you can choose a double window room. And the room is above the 12th floor, the view is also quite good.
Discount 💰: You can also get a 100 AUD laundry card and airport pick-up service when you book!
Carlton
Commuting: 550 meters from the University of Melbourne, 280 meters from RMIT
Recommendation: Standard single room, medium single room, 4-person room
The standard single room and the apartment above are similar, and the price is the same. I personally recommend this one, it's really cost-effective! The medium single room has a bar counter, which can be used as a desk or dining table, and the design is quite unique. The 4-person room is the cheapest, suitable for budget-conscious people.
Discount 💰: You can also get a 100 AUD laundry card when you book!
Aurora
Commuting: 1 kilometer from the University of Melbourne, 300 meters from RMIT
Recommendation: Aurora's iconic Aurora Building, I really recommend it! Other apartments are not recommended, if you have the ability, pursue the Aurora Building! Studio has floor-to-ceiling windows, 1-person room also has washing machine and dryer! And most importantly, you can keep pets! Yes! You can keep pets! In addition, there is also a swimming pool! I think this apartment is like a combination of student apartments and social apartments, because they provide property management, security services and water and electricity fees.
Discount 💰: Couples stay for no extra charge!
Above I listed some good apartment choices, I also have some lists of room types for other apartments such as Yaju, Iglu, Dwell, Campus, etc. If you are interested, I can write another note to share with you all! 📝
